Charles scoffed. “And you think she wrote that email? Please. It was Leo. He’s just using her name to make her seem important.”

Leo had just openly praised Nora, emphasizing her contributions to STARLINE.

People smiled politely, offering congratulations, but underneath, there was skepticism.

They saw her as Leo’s favorite, nothing more.

“See?” Charles said with a shrug. “Leo’s just propping her up. He’s completely mesmerized by her. And look–things are about to get interesting.”

At that moment, Clark stepped forward.

He approached Leo and Nora, greeting Leo warmly with an easy smile. His expression was far less welcoming when his gaze flickered to Nora.

Leo’s face darkened slightly as he saw Clark, his usual composure faltering just enough to be noticeable.

Clark, of course, noticed.
